Artist, American, born 1953

The image shows dark, blurred silhouettes with elongated and distorted shapes creating an abstract composition. The figures resemble human forms, suggesting motion. Their indistinct outlines and absence of detail give them a shadow-like quality, reminiscent of shadows or reflections in motion. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the dynamic lines, enhances the abstract nature of the scene.
